Recover with Carly

Welcome to episode #30 of the PFWC Podcast!

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Amanda White, LPC - specializing in alcohol abuse and eating disorders, founder of the Therapy for Women Center, and author of Not Drinking Tonight. Amanda shared her experience with eating disorders and substance abuse and how she got to where she is today. I learned so much during this episode and i’m so thankful Amanda took the time to share her knowledge with us.

I never realized that the link between alcohol abuse and eating disorders was so prevalent but it makes so much sense. Amanda shared some of the most common links and specific behaviors to lookout for that could be considered what Amanda labels “disordered drinking.”

If you are interestd in learning more about what Amanda is doing or joining her amazing community, you can find her on Instagram and Tiktok as well as her website. You can also purchase her self-help book Not Drinking Tonight here.

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Jaimmy Koroma - body positive content creator and fashion icon. Jaimmy uses her platform to encourage individuals to practice self-love, discover their style, and wear those clothes that society told people in larger bodies that they couldn’t wear. Jaimmy has inspired me in so many ways to step out of my comfort zone and try new fashion trends - no matter my size.

Jaimmy opened up about her relationship with her body growing up, navigating negative body image, and discovering her style. Jaimmy is inspiring so many people to discover/rediscover their style, especially individuals in larger bodies.

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with musical performer Kayley Green. Kayley is from South Carolina but moved to Nashville in 2013 to pursue her singing career. Kayley is so talented and has inspired so many individuals to take that chance, go for their dreams, wear the clothes they want to wear, and be their true authentic self.

We know that body image is already difficult to navigate and Kayley had to learn how to navigate it while being in the public eye. I am so thankful Kayley opened up, got vulnerable, and shared her experience with us.

Welcome to episode #26 of the PFWC Podcast!

This weeks episode is a solo episode and a topic that I am very passionate about. As a recovering people pleaser boundaries can be really difficult to set. But it's important to remember that boundaries are essential to healthy and happy relationships and friendships.
